Iran’s strategy has succeeded in weakening Trump and Netanyahu at home. That affects them both and narrows their room to maneuver and the range of options open to them and to whoever succeeds them in their confrontation with Iran.
After the US election, I’ll repeat what I said before, if Trump had a clear idea of how the war could end with a limited strike, and was confident it would end with a symbolic strike, he wouldn’t have hesitated to hit Iran and tell the American public he’d won and hadn’t been weakened—contrary to what the Democrats say and what the election results showed. But he has no clear idea of either one, and that’s what feeds his personal hesitation and the splintered views of his circle on Iran.
None of this means he won’t attack Iran. But he wants to be sure the strike is worth it, gives him a respectable way out, and that Iran won’t widen its response and launch an all-out war against his forces and Israel. This is where Iran’s cognitive warfare against him has paid off in keeping him in the fog, unable to predict what comes after the limited war he wants, and that has only made him more hesitant. Either way, he needs to make up his mind fast, before next January.

The media spent October obsessing over Abdul El-Sayed's "problem" with Jewish voters. The Washington Post, the NYT, NPR, and the AP ran constant articles.
In the end, El-Sayed got 60% of the Michigan Jewish vote, 1.3% less than Elissa Slotkin did in 2024. Michigan has 8M registered voters, and its population is 1.3% Jewish. So, back-of-the-napkin math means the media tried to center an issue that only mattered to about 1,350 voters in a race decided by over 300,000 votes.
The mainstream media is a joke.

The 🐐 Kyrie Irving has been back for six games and has repped Palestine every single game. Free Palestine 🇵🇸
Isn’t it hilarious seeing the Republican establishment giving a post mortem on elections when they are the ones being directly repudiated? They’re giving reasons why they got trampled as if they nothing to do with these policy decisions.

Since the day I understood what this guy is talking about in this video, I have been enjoying my life.
I don’t stress about anything, win or lose, still the same mood.
Nothing on earth matters. Just watch and process it in your brain.

Trump betrayed his own cult and squandered one of the biggest political opportunities in modern history.
He inherited the House, Senate, a 6-3 Supreme Court, a popular vote victory, and a sweep of every swing state. Republicans were winning the culture war. He had an actual mandate and a base ready to follow him anywhere.
Instead, he dragged us into a pointless war nobody wanted, gave us disastrous tariffs, higher costs, militarized policing, DOGE, crypto grifts, pardons for criminals, Epstein stonewalling, attacks on the Constitution, blatant self-enrichment, and virtually zero meaningful legislation.
Meanwhile, he's posting AI slop, obsessing over a ballroom nobody gives a fuck about, botching the Reflecting Pool, and picking fights with our allies.
And America is clearly exhausted. Many Republicans are tired of the narcissism, childish name-calling, nonstop vitriol, and manufactured hysteria about Democrats wanting to “trans your kids.” People want their lives to get better. They want affordability, stability, and some semblance of normalcy. They don't want to hear about John Husted's ass.
I see this as a nationwide rejection of what MAGA has become. It's joever.
An absolutely generational bag fumble.

I remain befuddled that so many people fail to logically conclude that the very reason Iran continues to insist on their maximalist terms is because they know very well how decisively they have dismantled American power in the region.
And they know the Americans know it too.
🤦♂️ Apparently it just doesn't matter how many times they play this #ImaginaryPeaceDeal card. People want to believe so badly that it works every time.
Stocks up; oil down. All is well.
Never mind that the Iranians already rejected the US proposal several hours ago.

Dave Smith: Trump pulled off the greatest political comeback in American history... and squandered the entire thing for a war on behalf of a foreign country
That's it. That's the whole second term. The biggest political realignment thrown in the trash for a pedophile cover-up and a neocon war.

Democrats will win big tonight then give their own voters the middle finger by appointing Hakeem Jeffries as Speaker and Chuck Schumer as Leader, and nothing will fundamentally change. This is how the duopoly works, which is why we need to topple the system.
